Adnkronos (Adnkronos) – “We shouldn't ask ourselves why our young people are violent and why they behave this way, but what we will do for them in the coming decades. No one has educated them for years. Educational agencies, from families to schools to institutions, have abandoned their responsibility to shape their civic conscience. We need to intervene in an emergency to give the new generations a civic education, not with armies of police, but with poets and philosophers.”
Thus Antonio Presti, president of the Antonio Presti Foundation, which has been working for decades on the social and cultural regeneration of Catania's Librino suburb through public art and participatory processes with neighborhood children, intervenes in the debate on young people and the current urban guerrilla warfare. "Our young people need a politics of beauty and care. We must spread knowledge and, for their future, give them the most powerful weapons in their hands: books in one hand and dreams in the other," he concludes.
